FAQs

Creating a colour accurate Giclée reproduction is a three stage process: image capture, colour correction and final printing. The first and and last stages are straightforward tasks. But changing the digital file to provide prints accurately matched to your original is a time consuming pain-staking process. It involves soft proofing using a highly accurate calibrated monitor and printing a number of test proofs until a perfect match is obtained. The resulting file is then permanetly archived to multiple backup sources.

Giclée printers who do not make a set-up charge will not be spending much if any time matching colours to your original, relying instead on push-button automatic solutions.

Almost any size and type of painting can be copied provided you are the originating artist or copyright owner. Purchase and ownership of an original does NOT include copyright. Please see About Copyright.

There is no minimum quantity, you can order just one print if you wish. However, if you order three or more copies at set up time your first print will be half price. Three copies can be a useful amount for testing the market with a new image.
